Air Signs – Aquarius, Gemini, Libra
King of Wands + King of Cups + Three of Wands
December is about mapping out your next moves. This isn’t about cliché resolutions, but instead reflecting on the seeds planted this year and figuring out how you want to expand on them over the next twelve months. Growth and change don’t always require a fresh start — sometimes it just needs a clearer direction.
Some of you have struggled this year because you refused to pivot and continue to knock on a door the Universe has bolted shut. Use these last thirty-one days to shift gears and get creative. It’s time to think outside the box. The path to success may not look like what you want or expected but it doesn’t mean that it’s not aligned with where you need to be.
Fire Signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Eight of Swords + Four of Cups + The World
Fire signs, for the past six months, your messages have consistently been about how deeply dissatisfied you are with some aspect of your life. No one is discounting the things outside of control, but you’ve been so consumed by what’s not working and how limited your options are that you’ve made no real actionable change. In some ways, it’s like you’ve checked out and are waiting for your external circumstances to give you the green light to act.
Since June, Spirit’s been clear: YOU are the catalyst. And maybe you already know what needs to change — but you’ve yet to bust a move. Once again, there’s a chapter ready to close and a blank one waiting to be written. Are you finally ready to walk through the door and see what’s next?
Water Signs – Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio
The Hermit + Ace of Pentacles + Two of Swords
Water signs, you’ve been offered or will be offered a new opportunity that requires a big change from you. Part of you is conflicted because it may require more than you’re ready to give, or maybe life is too hectic for you to really sit with it. Between life and the additional chaos of the holiday season, it’s hard to hear yourself think or make a decision.
Take a beat. Slow down. Say “no” more (seriously, you don’t have to go to every holiday party) and schedule some time to be alone with your thoughts. You don’t have to have it all figured out, but once you tune into your inner guidance, the clarity will come.
Earth Signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Queen of Pentacles rx + Five of Pentacles + Four of Cups
‘Tis the season of giving, earth signs, but how much have you given to yourself? You’ve been juggling so many things that you’re nearing emotional and spiritual burnout. Like the water signs, this month you’re being encouraged to say “no” more — especially when it comes to giving in material ways. It’s admirable to be generous, but not when it leaves you on E.
You may have just been going through the motions and not really feeling present. This month, take the time to pour back into you. In all the ways you’ve shown up for others, show up for yourself. You need it.
